I came across this ’20 Beauty Questions’ make-up tag on a make-up and lifestyle blog calledAmber&Amethyst(which she found on Beautify Brooke). Here are my answers to the make-up tag. Hope you enjoy reading the post!

I’ve pasted the questions at the end of the post, so feel free to let me know your answers in the comments section below. I always love finding out about other people’s favourite products and make-up stashes:o).

QVC UK started selling IT Cosmetics last year and since then, I have been eager to try out some of their products. As of last week, QVC UK started selling the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream as part of a special 4 piece collection. I’ve heard a lot of great things about this product (Emilynoel83 loves it), along with the other items in the collection, and so I couldn’t resist ordering it for myself. The collection was also available last weekend for a ‘Today’s Special Value’ deal of £47.89, rather than £65, as part of QVC UK’s Beauty Weekend. So I just had to get it!

I thought I’d do a post showing what the collection looks like and giving a quick overview of the products inside. I’ve just received the set and not yet had a chance to play around with the products. I might do a few other posts providing more information on what I think of the products once I’ve used them and more detailed product pictures (let me know in the comments section if you would like to see these types of posts).

I’ve been looking for a new colourless setting powder for quite a long time now. EmilyNoel83 (I love watching her YouTube videos) uploaded a video a few months ago featuring her favourite natural face powders. The Too Faced Primed and Poreless Powder was given a mention and I thought, ‘Why not try it?’.

I tried the powder over a foundation which I love but doesn’t have great staying power (I usually need a touch-up mid-morning) and wow!!! After applying my make-up early in the morning (around 7:15am), I didn’t feel the need for any powder touch-ups until later in the afternoon around 4pm. That’s right – 4pm!!!

Allure Magazine has reported that MAC will be coming out with a new eyeshadow formulation: MAC Spellbinder Eyeshadows. These eyeshadows are touted as being intensely pigmented and providing super-rich payoff on the lids. I can’t wait to check out the eight jewelled toned shades when they launch online and in-store (sometime between October – December 2016). You can read more here.

If you are a fan of the Anastasia Glow Kits, you might be excited to hear that the brand is releasing an Ultimate Glow Kit for the holiday season. The Ultimate Glow Kit will contain six gold-toned highlighters, ranging from snowy white to sparkly amber. I have the Gleam Glow Kit and love it, so I am looking forward to seeing the new Ultimate Glow Kit when it launches. You can read more and see photos at Temptalia here.

Too Faced has just posted a sneak peek of the upcoming Sweet Peach Glow Palette. You can see the sneak peek photo on Two Faced Jerrod Blandino’s Instagram pagehere.

This seems to be the season for colourful eyeshadow palettes. Kat Von D has just released the Metal Matte Eyeshadow Palette which contains 22 eyeshadows: 9 metal crush eyeshadows in all new shades and 13 rainbow mattes, ranging from light to dark tones. Looks amazing! You can see the palette on the Kat von D webpage here. Urban Decay will also be releasing the ‘Full Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette’ for Holiday 2016. The palette will contain 18 colourful shades ranging from white, bold and deep bright colours. You can see a sneak peek photo on the Urban Decay Instagram pages here.

Nude colours more your thing? If so, you might like the new Bare Minerals Gen Nude Collection. The Gen Nude Collection has 60 lip shades across 4 different finishes, including lipsticks, glosses, liquid lip colours and lip liners. The range promises to provide nudes in a range of colour tones, such as beige, pink, peach and mauve. Worth a look if you love nudes! You can read more on the Bare Minerals websitehere. If you also like the idea of trying out the lipsticks but aren’t sure where to start, Bare Minerals is releasing an 8-piece collection of mini-sized Gen Nude lipsticks. You can read more about the 8-piece collectionhere.

Being a make-up lover, I love watching YouTube videos, reading make-up blogs and browsing in stores to see all of the fun products out there. I thought it would be fun to write a new type of post passing on information on new products, collections and other make-up related goodness. I hope you enjoy reading this type of post too!

I recently found out that a Charlotte Tilbury counter will be opening in House of Fraser, Glasgow! Very, very exciting, particularly given that there aren’t any counters in Scotland. The counter will be opening on Thursday 8 September in the section where the MAC counter used to be located (MAC has moved to where Yo Sushi used to be).

Kat Von D make-up is coming to the UK and Ireland! The brand will be available exclusively to Debenhams online. You can read more about the launchhere.

Bare Minerals has just added to their foundation line-up with the new BarePro Performance Wear Powder Foundation. BarePro is a pressed mineral powder foundation and comes in 20 shades. You can read more about this producthere.
